2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 small can Pet milk
1/2 cup shortening
1 tsp salt

Jam, Jelly, or dried fruit that’s been cooked to rehydrate and sweetened

Mix dry ingredients and shortening until crumbly. Add milk. Mix with fork or pastry blender.

Roll onto floured surface to about 1/8-in. Use a saucer as a guide to cut around, forming pie crusts.

Place filling, leaving room at the edges to seal. Dampen edges of crust, then fold over and press edges to seal.
